What is the significance of Pod Priority Classes?

Mid Kubernetes
Quick Answer Priority Classes define the importance of Pods. Higher-priority Pods can preempt (evict) lower-priority ones to get scheduled when the cluster is full. System components run at the highest priority. Batch jobs and non-critical workloads run at lower priority. This ensures critical services always get resources, even under cluster pressure.

Answer

Higher-priority Pods can preempt lower ones, ensuring critical workloads get scheduled.
